Montreal, Quebec – April 2025 – The private clinic Sioufi Urology is proud to announce the arrival of NanoKnifeᴹᴰ, an advanced focal treatment for prostate cancer. This cutting-edge technology, known as irreversible electroporation (IRE), targets cancerous cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue and essential functions.


NanoKnife - Sioufi Urologie

Unlike traditional treatments such as surgery or radiation, NanoKnifeᴹᴰ uses ultra-short electrical pulses to destroy cancer cells without generating heat. This non-thermal approach significantly reduces the risk of damaging critical structures like nerves, the urinary sphincter, and the rectum, making it an ideal option for patients who prioritize maintaining quality of life.

 

“NanoKnifeᴹᴰ allows us to treat localized prostate cancer with great accuracy while minimizing side effects,” explains Dr. Richard Sioufi, urologist and owner at Sioufi Urology. “This technology aligns with our mission of offering our patients the most advanced and least invasive treatments available.”

 

Key benefits of NanoKnifeᴹᴰ:

  • Precise tumour targeting without damaging surrounding healthy tissue

  • Minimal side effects, preserving urinary and sexual function

  • Outpatient procedure with shorter recovery time

  • Preserves future treatment options, such as surgery or radiation

  • Clinically proven with growing adoption in leading cancer centers worldwide

 

NanoKnifeᴹᴰ is particularly well-suited for men with localized prostate cancer who wish to avoid the risks of more aggressive interventions. Every patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to determine eligibility, including advanced imaging and biopsy when needed. With over 24 years of experience in urology and a pioneer in MRI-ultrasound fusion biopsy in Quebec, Dr. Sioufi continues to lead innovation in prostate care. The addition of NanoKnifeᴹᴰ reinforces the clinic’s commitment to precision medicine and patient-centered care.

About the NanoKnifeᴹᴰ System

The NanoKnifeᴹᴰ System utilizes Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) technology to effectively destroy targeted cells without thermal energy by delivering high-voltage pulses, creating permanent nanopores within the cell membrane. This stimulus induces an apoptotic-like cellular death in the targeted tissue, resulting in a complete ablation of the targeted tissue. Visit nanoknife.com for full product information.
